There are already some entries in the portal - mostly mid-major schools so far. Here is a link to the players that have announced their entry:
June 17When does the portal close?
I liked Addie and hoped that she would improve. As a lefty, her chances to play in the field were the outfield or first base. Unfortunately, she was not able to win a position in the field and was in a battle for the DH. She won the battle part way through the season. However, she hit around .210 with mediocre power. A DH needs to do more than that. I wish her the best of luck wherever she lands.Yes, I always thought her potential far exceeded actual results. She had some good games early in both her seasons but never could really get going in conference play.
I think she needs to play where she is the bona fide starter and I didn’t see that happening here.
On the flip side, portal losses = opportunities to pick up even better players from the portal.
So we will see when everything shakes out whether this was a net gain or net loss.
